Megan Thee Stallion named as a pioneer in TIME 100

Megan Thee Stallion has been named as a pioneer in TIME magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2020.

The publication has revealed its annual list, which features the 'WAP' hitmaker alongside the likes of Selena Gomez, Jennifer Hudson and Gabrielle Union.

Writing about Megan in the magazine, Taraji P. Henson said: "I don't like to put the stigma of the word strong on Black women because I think it dehumanizes us, but she has strength--strength through vulnerability.

"She's lost much of her family -- her mother, her father, her grandmother -- yet she is the epitome of tenacity, of pulling herself up by her bootstraps.

"She was shot this summer, and still people tried to tear her down. But she's out here still loving and being sweet.

"It's invigorating to see her become a platinum-selling artist with the viral hit 'Hot Girl Summer' and multiple No. 1 songs in the past year, 'Savage' and 'WAP.' "
